corning the silk industry Of Zurich From this report It

Mr. Cau ascribes this falling of to diminished sx-
port OF silks This diminished export in turn is duo to
several causes chief among which is tho activity OF
American competition, the high tariff the crusade

We know not whether rose or pnle
The cheek that floating fabric hides.
II may be smiles, it may be tears
That safe from sight the issue holds.
The flush OF youth, esiines Of years,
Alike are hidden meath its folds.
Behind vail, behind q vail,
We hide our lives from friend and foe;
To smile and jest we never fad,
Though heart and sense are stepped in woe,
Beneath o calm reserve of pride
Concealed alike are love and hate;
Our noblest impulse oft we chide,
And thus we masquerade with Fate.
Behind vail. behind q vail.
God hides the future from our eyes;
We know not II the chilling gale
Or golden suns behind 1t rise.
Tae Joys that thrill, the griefs that blight
Alike are shrouded from our ken;

We can but humbly say. Amen"

Mexican ladies generally take their
exercise in closed carriages, as eti-
quette forbias them to ride on horse
back unless accompanied by husband,
father or brother. For a gentleman
to ask his first cousin to go out with
him, either on foot, on horse or in a
carriage, would be resented rs deadly
insult and give sufficient cause for a
duel. since to accept the invitation
would seriously compromise her good
name.
On Pleasant afternoons (and all af-
ternoons are pleasant here except dur.
ing the rainy season) every body who
owns n carriage or is able to hire one
drives out to the Alameda or Pasco-
the fashionable boulevard attached to
every Mexican town.
In all Mexico there is not phaeton
or any other open vehicle above cart;
but though Theoretically sealed up in
